Last year, Simply Red celebrated four decades of classic hits and timeless music with a 40th anniversary world tour, performing to more than a million fans worldwide. Now, the band documents the most unforgettable tour of their career with the release of the multi-format "Holding Back the Years: 40 Years of Simply Red, Live in Santiago."

The live concert recording captures five sold-out shows at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, attended by 75,000 people. The performance lives up to the occasion, with Mick Hucknall's voice as soulful, powerful and full of emotion as ever, while the band's stellar musicianship brings every nuance of the original recordings to life.

The setlist is a hit-packed crowd-pleaser, featuring 'Stars', 'Holding Back the Years', 'If You Don't Know Me By Now', 'Something Got Me Started', 'Fairground' and many more. The Santiago crowd lives up to its reputation, taking the atmosphere to fever pitch throughout, bringing electrifying energy to the uptempo numbers as well as almost hymnal singing to the ballads.

"Holding Back the Years: 40 Years of Simply Red, Live in Santiago" is available as a limited edition 3LP set of 5000 individually numbered copies on clear, yellow & black marbled vinyl, featuring the full length concert (approx. 110 min.), complete with a 12-page full colour booklet.
